Fuck that. Wordstar had been available on CP/M for ages, and was better
than vi.
So when it turned up on DOS everyone grabbed a pirate copy. 'joe'
emulates it these days for Linux

I don't know about the difference between wordstar and vi ages ago. I
have always used vim. Last time I checked joe is nowhere close to vim.

I think for office work word perfect was probably the best editor ever
designed. Just smart enough and not too smart

But, wordperfect is a word processor, not a word editor. Using it to
edit config files is looking for trouble. And the main issue about it,
it's wysiwyg so it can't be that good.
